Weight collars are recommended for all bar exercisers. A weight lifting belt is recommended for free weight back support exercises. However, a lifting belt is not allowed on Cybex selectorized equipment or the E-Z curl seat.

Wipe down the exercise equipment after you use it. Please be considerate of others.
